Wonderful project, pat yourself on the back :thumbsup:
You've thought this out thoroughly and this leaves me wondering why no dock? I've only followed along intermittently and may have missed it. You and your family should be having a wonderful next summer around your new pond, kudos to you.

Thank you. On the dock time and logistics. Can't really sink posts in very far without going through the clay bottom I left before getting into bedrock. I could do some drums and concrete for posts or figure it out I'm sure but also don't want to delay filling the pond to work on it. If I decide I want one later I'll build a floating dock.

JK I've had both, floating and posts, it won't take long appreciate a stable flat surface for chairs and maybe even a table by or on the pond. That's a little too "nautical" of an experience on a floater, then there's tying up a rowboat or canoe not to mention getting in and out of it can be rather "rocky" especially for the older or drinking people.
Is going through your clay to bedrock a leakage concern? Short of a pretty major draining, now's your chance.

It seems to me that the OP has done a pretty good job building his pond, and knowing what he wants from it, I really doubt he needs us second guessing him!

I've done floating docks before and they are great. I wouldn't sweat it now at all as that can be done later for sure.

Honestly don't think a dock will be built but this will be the option if I find I'm wrong in the future. If the pond was twice its size then I would probably make it a stronger consideration.
